Introduction
The Carlie Nooka Martece collective is a gender-fluid, autistic, dissociative system working as a visual artist, alternative model, and independently published writer. Since April 2022, their primary autistic hyperfocus has been coding. This site is the first addition to their coding portfolio.
Their Story
In 1998, due to difficulties with verbal communication, they made drawing and painting their main form of expression. Their eclectic artwork was self-therapy while navigating this world as a disabled human. Although most days they were convinced they were an alien.
In 2013, they replaced autobiographical artwork with literary autobiography, before segueing into science fiction. A paracosm amplified by hyperphantasia became a strangely convincing fictional universe. Their books now explore social issues and mental illness using rapid-paced storytelling and brutally dark comedy. They have obliterated the former challenge of verbal communication and now deliver entertaining spoken word performances.
In 2019, a long-overdue autism diagnosis explained their former social barriers, and they started investigating careers suitable for an academically bright neurodivergent person. This led to their present coding obsession, with several works in progress beyond this site. Their next goals are to learn another coding language, find suitable employment in a disability-friendly workplace, finish book five, create a new writers' app, and beat their present record of reciting two thousand digits of pi.
